Story of a Maidstone.

w. r. Sonner, of Fort Worth, Tex,
has maidstone that has been used
over one hundred times and with sue.
cess. 1t has history. In 1S48 Captain
Wilson, of Alabama. killed white
deer, and, knowing the Indian theory.
looked in its stomach, and there found
a stone as large as goose egg that re-
sembled petr;fied sponge. This was
the maidstone. The Indian theory is
that the white deer is more susceptible
to vegetable poisons taken into the
stomach when eaten with grass than
other animals. 10 preserve the life Of
the animal nature has placed in the
stomach this porous stone. which abb
serbs the poison, neuttalizes it, and
saves the deer's life. The stone, ap-
piled to bite into which poison has
been injected, at once draws it out, and
when its pores are filed drops off.
Being soaked in milk. the stone is made
pure again, and ready for another ap
plicatiOn.-N. T. Sun.

THE THREE wlLLARDs.
Brothers Who Hsvo Grown Rich and
Famous In the Hotel Business.

Brothers Who Have Grown Rich and
Famous In the HsteI Business.
ssThe Willards" in Washington are
three Vermont brothers, Joseph, Henry
and Caleb, named in order of their
ages. The latter is proprietor of the
Ebbitt, worth one or two millions.
Henry owns much property and bonds.
With Joseph, the elder, he is joint
owner of the Willard hotel, which
they kept for years. His estate is away
up in the millions and growing. Joseph
is the richer as we'll as the elder Of
the three, and is said to spend much of
his time cutting coupons from bonds.
He is in no active business. He is a
widower. and one son is the only heir.
He lives the life of recluse. If he is
not good lover he is good hater.
He has little to do with mankind in
general, albeit he has the appearance
of mild-mannered, benevolent-mi
gentleman of sixty-five years. He and
Caleb have not spoken for years.
Joseph does the hating and Caleb the
grinning and bearing. The latter owns
long row of property on + street.
beginning with the Ebbitt. Only one
strip of twelve feet interrupts his con-
tinuous ownership from Thirteenth to
Fourteenth street. 1t is next to the
Ebbitt. This strip Joseph owns. Caleb
has tried every means to buy it. Joseph
holds it solely to spite his brother. 1t
is occupied by tenantless one-story
structure. Not great while ago a
suave. business-like gentleman called
upon Joseph and stated that he
was looking for location to establish
a candy mandatory. He was inn
pressed with the + street location. and
wanted to know if it was in the market.
Joseph Willard replied that he would
sell If he could get his price. Then his
visitor asked the terms. Looking up
and catching the business mans eye,
he said: "My price is $1,000 You
go back to G. c. Willard who sent you
here, and tell him that" 1t is said
that Joseph has so fixed it in his will
that the property can never fall into
Caleb's hands or the haads of his heirs.
That he is insane is not suspected. He
loves his mother, and makes q daily
visit to her in the house of the brother
he hates. He aud Henry. though not
alienated, have little Intercourse. There
is nothing the matter between Henry
and Caleb. The singularity spoken Of
is lodged specially with Joseph. He
dresses neatly, does not seek inter-
course with his fellows, and only few
persons have dealings with him. Gen.
eral Boynton has his confidence and is
sometimes the medium of commune
cation between him and others in
business transactions. He appears to
be as happy as any one and attends the
church of which he is q member. He
is tall and handsome and active. His
wife was one of the handsomest women
in Washington.
Henry and Caleb are enterprising
citizens and loving brothers. Both
contribute literally to benevolent OBJ
jects, especially to the churches to
which they belong. Cor. Pittsburgh

If little Geordie was sssunshine'' to his
uncle, Uncle Charlie was the whole solar
system to his nephew. The boy lived in his
uncle's light. His mother was dear to him,
very dear. But then mother was with him
always, and Uncle Charlie came in like the
wonder In fairy story, just when he was
most wanted and most welcome Mother
was rsad, and often perplexed, and
though always kind, sometimes slow to
answer the thousand questions of child
hood. But Uncle Charlie was always
light and cherry. He never looked per-
picked, for nothing could puzzle him o,
no! And as to questions, he always an
swered them, even the most difficult, though
candor compels the confession that his re-
plies would not always bear veriication
under oath or affirmation.
Mother, Geordie was compelled to be-
ieve, was somewhat helpless, like himself,
but Uncle Charlie could do every thing
Geordie could only hint his wishes, and II
his uncle could not quite accomplish them,
he could suggest some thing else which he
maintained, and the child believed, was q
great deal better. Geordie longed, O.,
how much, for live pony. Uncle Charlie
bought him rocking horse, which would
neither kick nor run away. Besides, it
would eat nothing, and Geordie was easily
convinced that the wooden pony's moderate
appetite was . great recommendation. He
could make believe feed it, you know, and q
horse that only makes believe eat is q very
profitable animal
